Love from a Fellow Creative

As creatives we face rejection. Sigh. If only it weren’t so. Honestly, rejection doesn’t feel good. Not at all. It feels like the end. But it isn’t. Rejection isn’t the end, it’s just a chance to try again.

We all know how silver seams the rocks, we’ve seen the stuff from which gold is refined, We’re aware of how iron is dug out of the ground and copper is smelted from rock. Miners penetrate the earth’s darkness, searching the roots of the mountains for ore, digging away in the suffocating darkness. Far from civilization, far from the traffic, they cut a shaft, and are lowered into it by ropes. Earth’s surface is a field for grain, but its depths are a forge Firing sapphires from stones and chiseling gold from rocks. Isaiah 28:1-6 MSG
